Using the wide end of the round nose pliers, bend a curve on the "eye" end of the pin.

Step 2
Using the 2 inch eye pin, thread the round silver bead, then the silver rondelle onto the eye pin. Bend the pin about ¼ inch above the top of the bead at a 90 degree angle, using the flat nose pliers.
Using the round nose pliers, bend the end into a loop. Holding the loop with the flat nose pliers, use another pair of pliers to wrap the end of the loop tightly around the wire. Cut off the remaining wire. This is the weight for the top of the earring.
